Just A Dream

!Warning! This chapter has a reference to Billy x Riggy in it. It's not super overt or anything (Infact I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even notice it) I just thought I'd mention it just incase the ship makes you uncomfortable or something. Enjoy <3

Crap. He fell asleep again. At least he had Riggy to keep him warm. What had woken him up THIS time? He was questioning this when his stomach made itself known. Right. He forgot. He hadn't eaten since breakfast. He WANTED to get up but Riggy was still asleep and he wanted it to STAY that way. Not that Danno didn't enjoy Riggy's company... (well it WAS nice to have a break from his annoying voice and incessant whining) it was just that Riggy didn't really sleep much (as far as a Danno had seen over the past few months) so whenever Danno saw that Riggy was asleep he did everything he could to keep it that way. But... he was also REALLY hungry... he needed to get up. He slowly wedged his hands under the sleeping toon. He felt guilty. The same type of guilt he felt whenever one of his dogs where asleep on his lap and he had to get up (pet owners you'll know the feeling). He gingerly put Riggy down on the floor. He didn't wake up. So that was good. He quietly shut the door and tiptoed down the hallway trying not to cringe every time a floorboard creaked under his foot. He went to the kitchen and grabbed an apple (first time he had eaten something actually healthy that week) and crash-landed on the couch. OH SWEET NUTRITIOUS RELIEF! When he finished the apple he obviously wasn't completely full but it would be enough to keep him going until dinner. Danno got back up off the couch and went to his room. Riggy was still asleep on the floor. Danno had to admit. When he wasn't destroying stuff or whining pathetically about how much he deserved a raise after working for him for less then a day or punching him so hard he should have gotten a black eye but didn't for some reason (Danno had asked him why he was so short and he must have taken it as an insult for whatever reason)... the little chaos gremlin was actually pretty cute. He was curled up asleep in a sunbeam like a dog or cat would with his tail tucked around him and his head resting on his arms. Danno WOULD have taken a photo but he didn't have his phone on him (it was buried somewhere in one of the piles of mess Riggy had made in they're studio). So he just enjoyed the peace until Riggy woke up. "Evening Riggs..." he said silently cringing at the fact he let that stupid nickname slip again. Riggy blinked groggily. "What time is it...?" He mumbled "nearly dinnertime..." Danno replied then he went quiet for a second. "Hey Riggy..." he said casually. "It's Thanksgiving soon-... do you have Thanksgiving in Toonville?" "We have a day were we eat a lot and say what we're grateful for and stuff..." "yeah that's pretty much Thanksgiving" said Danno shrugging. "Anyway I was wondering if you could bring your family over or something... like cuz... I only know you and Rosey... and you had to come from SOMEWHERE... and really I'd love to meet them... uh... why are you making that face? What's wrong?" "Uh... no..." said Riggy. "My family... isn't coming... you wouldn't like them anyway... their all SUPER annoying haha... well... exept for my little sister... and I don't want to stop Rosey from having a good time with HER family... so she can just come when she wants..." Danno tilted his head. "Why isn't your family comi-" Riggy shot him a don't-say-another-word-if-you-want-to-keep-all-your-limbs look and Danno backed off. "Uh... okay then... do you need anything made specially? Like do you have any allergies that we need to avoid or...?" "Nah" said Riggy waving his hand. "I'll be fine..." "do you have any questions?" Said Danno. "I mean this IS kinda a foreign holiday for you and all..." Riggy thought for a second. "OH!" He said suddenly. "Do you guys eat turkeys? Rosey REALLY likes eating turkey!" "Aren't rabbits meant to be vegans tho- whatever... nothing about you makes sense... yes we eat turkey. It's sweet that you care about what Rosey wants even though she might not make it... you really love her don't you?" "Yeah..." said Riggy in that gushy love-sick tone. "Even more then I loved Billy..." Danno raised an eyebrow. "Who-" "no-one" said Riggy suddenly defensive. "He's just someone I used to know okay? End. Of. Story." "Uh- o-okay..." said Danno putting up his hands. "Do I WANT to know?" Riggy got that faraway look in his eyes again. "No..." he said slowly. "You don't..." suddenly his eyes snapped back into focus. "So uh- have you gotten something to eat yet?" "Yes mum..." said Danno deadpan. Then he noticed that Riggy had spaced out again. "Riggs...? You okay? You look like your about to cry..." "yeah..." said Riggy picking at the fur on his tail (something that Danno had learned was a nervous habit. To the point there where bits on his tail that didn't have any fur on it) "I... I'm fine... I'm just thinking..." "hit me with your thoughts..." said Danno sitting down on the floor next to him. "you know what they say: A problem shared is a problem halved! I mean they might not say if from where you come from but still" Riggy started to look uneasy. "No..." he said. "I can't tell you... it would probably send you back to therapy..." "physical therapy and psychological therapy are two different types of therapy Riggy" said Danno. Riggy squinted. "No but you WENT to psychological therapy after you got bashed on the head didn't you...? To like... make sure your brain still worked or something..." Danno was slightly taken aback. "How did you-... never mind... so uh... back to Thanksgiving... is there anyone ELSE you want to bring? Like other then Rosey?" Riggy thought for a bit longer. "Well I'd LOVE to bring Molly so you could meet her... but I can't... and I'd love to bring a whole bunch of toons in Toonville to meet you... but I can't... so I'll just bring Rosey... oh... just warning you... we both might not be able to come... is that okay?" "Yeah that's okay" said Danno. "I was planning on introducing you and Rosey to my family on Thanksgiving... but if you can't make it then I'll just choose a different date... Thanksgiving is a time for being grateful... you can come or you can't... I don't mind either way... as long as you have fun..."

Happy spooky month friendos!
